It's really important to understand how to look after your houseplants in winter, especially orchids. More plants die from over-watering and wrong temperatures than from anything else, so show your plants some love and look for my simple tips to keep your plants happy and healthy during the colder months!

Thank you for this handy tutorial! Amy I have little flys in and around my indoor plants, why and how do I get them gone? please help !! ❤🙏🏻 x

They are probably fungus gnats, tiny flies that feed on the fungus (often not really visible) that grows in the soil around plants. These can be an indication that you may be over-watering. If your plant is in a decorative pot, take it out and drain off any water sitting in the bottom of the pot. Stop watering your plant until the soil dries out properly, and then only water sparingly. You want the top of the soil to dry out in between watering, and that will deprive the flies of their food and you will stop getting them. You can use sticky traps to capture the flies, or if you really want to use them there are pesticides available in most countries to treat this - use strictly according to the instructions on the packaging. Avoid any gimmick houseplant "cures", e.g. milk, as this will make it worse. I hope that helps! 🥰🥰
